Poor Bond Auction Means Spain Should Be ‘Very, Very Worried’

First sentence...already understood what the author really knows....Spain is not "highly indebted". Please compare it to other countries. And please do not write things you dont know. Please! This is how the crisis also gets feeded..people writing things they in fact don´t know...

Who is behind these attacks on the Euro?. Who stands to benefit from the collapse of the Euro and the EU?. The situation is being engineered by some group or country?. Who do the spectulators represent?. It is clear there is an economic war that is bad as any war with guns and bombs. These people who are engineering this should be exposed as they are tyrants as bad as Hitler, Stalin, Gaddafi,etc,.

"The country paid nearly 7% to flog bonds due in 2022. Despite the fact that the yield on offer was the highest ever at an auction since the advent of the euro, the sale only attracted a measly 1.5% cover ratio."
Perhaps you would like to remove that %-sign. Things are bad enough without it.

Haaaa.........This is so funny, Fred and Tulane. First you aluding to US engineering this collapse. You are wrong and read too much French/EU media.
First, you can't live beyond your means, EU is hiding the devil under the rug. EU is an uncompetitive economy except Germany. EU labor rules are among the worst in the world, and all this to prevent local jobs, then what kind of hell EU is this. In EU still the wealthiest people are the barons, english lords and princes of several hundreds years ago, vs US most of them are all enterprenuers. EU needs foundamental changes more than US (the tax code + spending, everything else is fine here). EU economic system is based on heavy taxation to subsidize gov programs that bring nothing good to the economy, just preserve inneficient jobs. And please don't let me go on the b.... VAT taxation system. And fianally EU is much more lazy than US when it comes to workiing, exept Germany and few other countires. EU is a big mess.....it all comes from thinking they are the best, because of too much history. To have an EU of the 21-st century we need no past history for EU members states (which defines all of them), if that can't happen and it can't than EU is a failed idea! History defines the charachter of a nation and this is the problen in EU, history!!!
